Dickinson Township supervisors approve move of regular meetings to Wednesdays amid split vote
Summary
The Dickinson Township Board of Supervisors voted to move its 2025 regular meeting day from Monday to Wednesday to allow more time for staff review; the motion passed with two votes in favor and one abstention.
The Dickinson Township Board of Supervisors voted on Jan. 6 to shift its regular meeting day from Monday to Wednesday and authorized advertising the 2025 meeting dates. Vice Chairperson Jennifer DeGaetano moved the change and Chairman Rob Kole seconded; the motion passed by majority vote with Supervisor Robert "Bob" Line III abstaining.
DeGaetano argued that moving the meetings to Wednesday would give staff and board members extra days to review packets and avoid the tight turnaround that can occur over a weekend. Chairman Rob Kole said he supported the change for the same reason, noting that weekend reviews can be difficult for staff.
Supervisor Line said he preferred keeping the meetings on Monday because many neighboring municipalities meet on Wednesdays and a shift could limit the board's ability to attend nearby meetings and engage with regional partners.
The board authorized staff to advertise the new meeting schedule for the 2025 calendar year. The decision took effect for the advertised 2025 schedule; the minutes do not specify any further implementation details.
